Katie’s Acre Experience

Take Off with Trefethen is our new experience for novice wine consumers, available Monday through Thursday at 10am. A wine educator will first lead you to our “petting zoo” demonstration vineyard, which showcases multiple grape varieties, and share a taste of Dry Riesling, while providing a brief introduction to viticulture and our longtime commitment to sustainability. You will then return to our historic winery for an educational and fun seated tasting of three wines. It’s a perfect opportunity for budding wine lovers to ask questions about everything from swirling and spitting etiquette to how to hold a wine glass and how long an open wine lasts.

Learn about the journey from vine to wine with our immersive Vineyard Tour & Tasting. Your visit begins with a guided walk among the vines, covering our rich winegrowing history and our award winning sustainability programs. After that, you will head to the cellar for a behind the scenes view into our winemaking operations and the experience concludes with a curated tasting of wines sourced from the very vineyard you walked through.

This fully immersive and private experience features our Legacy Collection wines. Hosted by certified sommeliers, guests will be greeted at the Historic Winery and taken on a brief tour of the winery before being guided through expansive gardens to the Villa, which previously served as the Trefethen family home. A sample menu features Katie’s Acre Chardonnay enjoyed with Classic Caviar Service for Two, and The Cowgirl and Pilot Merlot paired with California Lamb Loin with Roasted Baby Carrots, Cumin Spiked Yogurt, and Carrot Top Chimichurri. A rare vertical offering of HāLo Cabernet Sauvignon is complemented by Dry Aged Beef Rib Eye with Puffed Bread and White Cheddar Mousse. This experience lasts two hours and is offered weekly on Fridays at 1 pm.

Upon arrival, guests choose from three distinct flights—Essentials, Small Lots, and All Reds. Each flight includes a taste of five different wines, collectively reflecting the diversity of the Trefethen portfolio. The flights are offered inside our historic winery and in our beautiful courtyard.
